With the best of intentions..

With the best of intentions I wanted to run today...


With the best of intentions I meant to run three hills as a part of my training plan...


With the best of intentions I hoped to cover 5k total...


With the best of intentions I was going to keep warm despite the fact that it was cold and dark...


With the best of intentions I was going to burn off the Chinese food I had at lunch...


The odds were not in my favor.


I was tired.


This was the weather:

This was the elevation:

But guess what??


I ran the three hills (5k total, up and down) then proceeded to add another 4k to that total.


That's right kiddies, I ran 9 freakin' kilometres in zero degree Celsius temperatures (with 35k/hr winds), after a long day at work, when I wasn't sure if I wanted to even leave the house again after I got home.


Who am I??


Proud (and exhausted) is who I am!!


So tell me, when was the last time you exceeded your own expectations?
